Hello all:
September 8, 2011 is just around the corner and the State of Wisconsin Boiler and Pressure Vessel Program will be sending out your quarterly over dues...please make every effort to get out to those objects that are over due as quickly as possible. The state will be going out after those objects that are overdue with lapsed Permits to Operate. Your efforts in this matter is greatly appreciated and will prevent the State from going out to your Insured locations unnecessarily. The number of over dues have decreased somewhat over the passed couple of quarters which is absolutely great. None-the-less, allowing customers to operate objects without a permit is a code violation.
You can search for your objects by going to our search engine website...please see link below.

Please pass this message on to all your inspectors.
Thanks for keeping Wisconsin a safe place to work and live.
